[QUOTE="kyball, post: 20281, member: 540632"] Don't listen to that kid. from what your saying you want a cheap yet good fix for you current problem, right? if so, a cap is the perfect solution. it's cheap and it will fix your problem with your lights. i had the same problem with my car and i threw in a 1farad cap and my lights don't dim any more. the rule of thumb for cap sizes is: for every 1000W your system puts out, you should use a 1 farad cap. so if you put 500w you'll get a .5 farad cap, but if you put out 1000w you'll need a 1 farad cap, and so on. so if your pushing 380w get a .5 farad cap. it doesn't really matter what cap you get because they all are almost a like, no real differences. some might come with a volt meter. hope this helped lata [/QUOTE]
